    How to mount a laptop in the car?

    How about using velcro underneath the laptop so it can be mounted on your center consule? That way the laptop won't shift too much.

    AOTC & LOTR:EE/SE store price reports (threads merged)

    Just got AOTC for $9.99. I was speechless when all 45 people waiting to get their copies told the store employees that they wanted Widescreen :) Young/Old, mothers/fathers, students...I think one person out of the whole group wanted pan/scam.

    Sopranos Season 4 Review and Discussion Thread Shows 1-12

    An amazing episode. And I was lucky to not have this spoiled by an internet rumor.

    Is most of today's music just plain bad?

    I think it was Moby who said that in years to come we'll all look back during this banal period of music which was based on the tastes of young teenage girls and wrestling fans. I guess one could be offended by that comment but in my opinion I think it's close to the truth. I remember working...

    I just lost my job today :(

    Thanks for the suggestions. I just filed yesterday online so I'll keep my eyes out for the paperwork to follow. In the meantime I've been studying for my A+. I'm already an MCP for Windows Pro 2000 and having another title won't hurt. There are also job fairs coming up so if anyone in NJ is...

    I just lost my job today :(

    Thanks for the suggestions and experiences. Looks like it's off to the unemployment agency tomorrow. My company is paying me for November and then that's it. I'm trying to push both my Technical Sales skills and Computer skills to each hopeful opportunity. My fiance and I are buying a house in...

    I just lost my job today :(

    Hey Folks, For the first time in 12 years I am unemployed. I was at my last job for 4 1/2 years. There were cuts in the tech dept which resulted in my jobless state. For the past few hours I've been calling/emailing/faxing various job placement firms. I've never filed for unemployment before so...

    WOW! U2's Halftime Mini Concert...

    I saw U2 twice in Jersey last year and it was an amazing experience to be standing close to the stage. I missed the Super Bowl show but I'll make up for it by watching the DVD of the Boston Concert. I also saw the Popmart tour years ago and it was such a horrible experience. My interpretation...

    Anybody have info/experiences with HP 8220e External USB CDBurner?

    Hey Nick I have an older model, the 7200 ext USB burner (I think it's the 7200, a relative of mine is borrowing it at the moment) and it runs fine. As a rule of thumb, shut off any screen savers and even antivirus software during a burn session. You don't want any TSR (terminate/stay/resident)...

    So, are The Strokes all they're hyped up to be?

    I have a feeling that we're going to hear a lot of "garage rock" in the next few years on mainsteam radio. Remember, the early 90s brough Grunge into the mainstream so this may be history repeating itself. Still waiting for Trip Hop to make an impact on mainstream radio. Just as well it...

    Former @Home users, how bad is the new Comcast "High Speed Internet" service???

    Hi Basi, Happy New Year. This morning I tried dvdtalk.com which is a site that I frequent for DVD Bargain threads. I am unable to load the page. At work, I am also having trouble accessing DVD Talk so it may be an error on their end. I am not sure at this time. My speed right now is 1.5 mb/s...

    Does ANYONE get BBC America Cable ?

    I get this channel. I wish they would air re-runs of Blake's 7 and Doctor Who.

    Former @Home users, how bad is the new Comcast "High Speed Internet" service???

    Hey guys I am back as of Sunday, 11:52AM After a barrage of phone calls since Thursday night, I am now running at 1.82mb/s. It's true what they're saying about XP owners. Somehow, XP isn't compatible with their software which arrived in the mail. I deleted the software from my PC, made sure that...

    Former @Home users, how bad is the new Comcast "High Speed Internet" service???

    Hey Basi, thanks for the update. And whoever posted the forum link, thanks as well! I can't wait to leave work today and tackle this problem. Comcast tech support apperently told one person that the problem is XP and to "roll back" to @home which for me didn't work 2 days ago, hence the update...

    Former @Home users, how bad is the new Comcast "High Speed Internet" service???

    Jack, after the 30 seconds does your page load up or does it show an error message? By the way I am posting this and other internet activity from work. I tried phoning Comcast this morning to look for answers regarding the outage but no luck. They say, "All circuts are busy."
